A Portrait of a Remarkable Woman

Written by Irene Conlan on TheSelfImprovementBlog.com

Laura Alden KammTheSelfImprovementBlog.com—I met Laura Kamm in 1997 or 1998 – my memory fails me as to an exact date. I saw an ad  in a holistic publication in Phoenix and knew that I needed to see her. She was a medical intuitive and worked with energy and I was drawn to like a metal chip is drawn to a magnet. Not only did she do some remarkable healing  work with me, but we became close friends and have remained friends ever since even though we are a country apart now that she lives in Florida and I remain in Arizona.

While she has always been very intuitive, Laura had a near death experience that left her with some remarkable gifts of intuition and the  ability to discern what is happening in the body. She authored Intuitive wellness:Using your body’s inner wisdom to heal which is now in its second printing (or perhaps more). It tells her amazing story and leads the reader to a greater understanding of energy and how they can use their own energy more effectively. She also has a number of CDs that she has recorded related to the body’s energy. She also has her own radio show – but you can read about that if you go to her website.

Intuitive Wellness: Using Your Body's Inner Wisdom to HealShe has been in town for the last few weeks and the other day we had a visit and some tea at The Coffee Plantation in Scottsdale – it’s always non stop talk when we have a chance to get together.  The wonderful thing about Laura is that even though she changes she hasn’t changed. Even though she is a sought out healer, speaker and medical intuitive she still is the warm, down-to-earth, caring Laura I have know for all these years. In this age of so much phoniness, it is refrshing to know someone who is real.  Laura is very real.

According to her website she has created a “revolutionary online program for you to take control of your wellness, your intuitive and healing abilities, and your life through medical intuitive self-assessment. It utilizes her exclusive method—the method Laura uses in her private medical intuitive consultations.”  I thought some of you would like to know about it. It’s online. How easy is that? And she has a special price to introduce it and I know you will get ten times the value or more over the cost. Laura gives more than 100% so you can count on this being high quality and effective.

Color Intuition KitNo, she didn’t tell me to write that. She doesn’t even know I’m writing this article. I’ll send her an email and tell her I did it. My thinking is this: When a woman (or man, for that matter) with remarkable gifts wants to share those gifts, then it is my responsibility to let as many people as possible know about it.  I consider myself blessed to have her as one of my dearest friends.

Listen to Your Spirit

Take personal inventory in a new way this year. Set aside some quite time, reign in your ego, be disciplined, and both talk and listen to the master teacher inside of you. Discuss. Cry. Love. Be still. Pray. Journal. Be compassionate as you love yourself through the process of finding out who you really are and what you want to do. How do you want to contribute to the world around you this year and beyond? What talents do you have that are scratching at the surface of your consciousness; the ones that you are simply too afraid to let to the surface and become a focal point in your life? Follow the promise that intuition and I have for you, “that it will help you eliminate fear and chaos from your life, leaving you with clarity, direction and peace of mind. You are in charge of you, so go for it all! Live a life beyond your dreams.”

Discipline is about self-protection, not isolation but self-love and compassion. Listening to your Spirit is a way to demonstrate this type of personal discipline. As Buddha said, “Like a mother who protects her child, her only child, with her own life, one should cultivate a heart of unlimited love and compassion towards all living beings.” You are that living being as well. Compassion starts with you…listen. Listen to your wisdom, it’s what’s real.

Make this year your Best Intuitive Year Every!

Gettin' Real

Who are you really? What do you want to do with the rest of your life? We all think these types of thoughts, especially this time of year. The New Year’s Resolution Revolution. A time when we do our best to cast aside those “things” that just don’t work for us any longer. We do our best to change, to find a new sense of order, peace and success for our lives. But it’s not easy.

Change won’t happen until you get real about that which is keeping you stuck in the muck and mire of the old ways. Routines and beliefs that parents, a spouse, an out-molded part of you, friends, or the community say about how you should live your life, what to eat, how to be, or what to say. Argh! There is nothing harder on your spirit, that beautiful spirit that inhabits your body and animates your being, than to live someone else’s life. Georgia O’Keefe said something to this effect, “You might as well live your own life; because, if you live by someone else’s rules and beliefs, you might as well be dead.” Live your best life, now…and forever by being true to what real for you!

4th Annual Finding the Gift in Shift Conference

Laura shares her strategies for Inspired Change. There will be a brilliant group of speakers and authors to share their wisdom with you, such as best-selling authors Gregg Braden, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Sunny Dawn Johnson, Ronna Prince, Dr. Donald Backstrom and others. Join Laura for a dynamic weekend in beautiful Sedona, Arizona.

Inspired Change

We know that change is constantly occurring, in large and small ways. We can’t control a lot of what change brings, and that is where ‘control issues’ arise. We dislike “this or that” and try to control the change that is naturally occurring. There are two types of change: external and internal. Inspired change is an internal change that occurs when you follow an internally-driven inspiration to create change in your life or the lives of others. In these times, Inspired Change is what is needed more than ever; instead of having external changes make you feel like a ship in choppy waters without a rudder. You can tap into your well of inspiration and avoid or alter external change; those surprises that way lay you or even devastate your life. There are three aspects of inspired change that we need to keep focused on if we choose to use the practical and powerful tools associated with inspired change:

  1. Inspired Vision: The vision hat comes to us from paying attention to life through our intuition.
  2. Committed Courage: Follow your inspiration, even if there may be a part of yourself that doesn’t want to change and likes life the way it is, as well as other people around you will try to talk you out of the changes you want to make. Stay strong and have the courage to commit to your vision and follow through.
  3. Creative Connection: Remain flexible and creative. If you are trying to make big changes, a lot of small changes will come about before the big change. Be patient along the process.

Join Laura as she teaches you how to access your inspired vision, along with other visionary authors such as Gregg Braden, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Sunny Dawn Johnson, and Dennis Andres at The Gift in the Shift Conference in Sedona, AZ, January 15-17th, 2010.

The Sweetest Sound Around...

Beyond “I love you” or the sound of a baby’s laughter, one of the sweetest sounds we can express and hear is “Thank You!” Most of us say it often enough. We speak these words causally, with elation or honor and, at times, with a regrettable tone when we cover up how we really feel.

Take a moment and think about that for which you are grateful. In this moment, sense how these words feel in your body when you speak them. They tend to express either a deeper or more surface part of yourself. There is no right or wrong, so keep that in mind.

I am ridiculously grateful to be alive. Words pale next to the profound joy I feel about the fact that I get to be here and be alive, right now. In every moment, but especially at night, I’m so grateful that I have physically, mentally and spiritually made it through another day with as much grace, presence and kindness I could muster in each moment.

I curl up under my comforter and say, “Thank you God.” Then, watching my breath with a soft mind, I drift between states of consciousness. Being present to my gratitude and to the breath of my personal existence links me to, well, ME. I take this time to embody my own energy, the essence that is Laura. I figure if I cannot come home to myself, at least at night, where am I? So, I ask you, “Where are you?”

I go there with presence. I go inward, as deeply as I can to the essence of my life and life’s work. I feel the gratitude for the people and events in my life, including all of you. For all of this, and so much more, I am truly grateful. So, to you my friends, I say “Thank you for being in my life!”

As the forthcoming Holidays flow to you, take some time and come home to yourself every night. These are sweet moments. Fill yourself with loving kindness—simply from you, to you. Then your cup is genuinely filled to effortlessly share love and gratitude with others.

If you do this every night through the holidays, you will have a different experience of your life and loved ones. By New Year’s Eve it will be a habit—a habit with profound benefits for your life. No since waiting for a date on the calendar to proclaim it’s time to change. Now works, because now is all there is.

Right now, to you, I send my gratitude and love,

Laura

It is all raw, and according to the author, Natalia Rose, it supports weight loss and vitality. I just know it taste great and helps my body feel fabulous. It is like a bowl of Autumn bliss. Makes 5.5 cups.

What A Year

As you know, change happens, whether you are ready for it or not. Having my intuition up and running 24/7 is the greatest gift. For me personally, it allows me to watch my own energy field and find answers to questions. I always know which way to turn, allowing me to feel at ease and contented. That, to me, is pricesless.

I created Unlocking Your Intuitive Power: How to Read the Energy of Anything for these reasons--to help you find direction, hone in on your abilities and purpose, and to sharpen your intuitive skills.

When I was preparing to record this audio program, the brilliant staff at Sounds True said, "Laura, don't bring a script." So I did not--I sat down in the chair, put my headphones on and intuitively spoke this program in two days. I know it will help advance your abilities and move you in the direction that is just right for you.

With Love, Laura
